Chapter 2089 The Ones Who Set The Rules
At that moment, Cyrus was the only one who knew who the seal belonged to.
He was also the only person that was aware of the owner’s actual identity.
Naturally, that meant that Cyrus also knew about the Ancient Clan’s manhunt.
“I can’t believe that he is actually alive and has a disciple!”
Cyrus was tearing up a little.
It was as if he could die in peace after learning that truth.
“The world is about to change,” murmured Cyrus before he sighed.
He was the only one who knew what the seal truly entailed.
Now that the seal has resurfaced, the Ancient Clan will reveal itself again.
They are the true rulers of this world and control the ancient powers that can turn the world upside down.
In a way, the Ancient Clan was the source of all their heritage.
The technique book, magical techniques…
They were the true source of it all.
As for the fighters that set up the Gods’ Promise… Well, those were just children playing with foam swords in the eyes of the Ancient Clan.
Those fighters most likely inherited scrapped scrolls and trained in accordance with the teachings there.
They never knew that they barely scratched the surface of what the Ancient Clans knew and had.
It was nothing more than recycled trash.
Cyrus chuckled all of a sudden.
He was looking forward to the Ancient Clan showing up.
Things are about to get really exciting.
At the training base of the Lab of Gods.
There were four people there.
One of them was playing a deck of cards with a joker printed at the back of every piece of card.
He would cackle every once in a while, and his voice was ridiculously creepy.
Of the four people present, one of them was Bruce’s superior.
They were discussing a single matter at the time.
Naturally, the topic of their discussion was how the Ancient Clan had been stirred.
The Lab of Gods was a powerful organization, so it was only natural that they had noticed the change.
“What triggered this change?” asked one of them.
“We don’t know for sure yet, but we heard the rumor about how it was something shared on the dark web. Unfortunately, that section of the dark web was more secure than the other parts, so we can’t gain access to it.”
“We have tons of hackers on our payroll! How are we still locked out?”
“Haven’t you heard? That website is created by a hacker known as the Hacking God, and no one, not even us, can break through his firewall.”
“This is really strange. Why are so many members of the Ancient Clan suddenly showing up?”
“Yeah, that is strange, especially since they didn’t even budge when we set up the Gods’ Promise.”
Turned out, the Lab of Gods was responsible for setting up the Gods’ Promise.
The truth was that the Lab of Gods had been around for quite some time. They were operating even before technology overtook the entire world.
They wanted to increase their own efficiency and effectiveness, so they set up the Gods’ Promise to restrain the fighters.
Those restraints removed a lot of obstacles in the Lab of Gods’ path and allowed them to grow exponentially.
That was why they became that strong. Hence, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Gods’ Promise played a huge role in their success.
The man playing the poker cards stopped laughing. He scoffed, “Of course, they were idle. The Gods’ Promise never affected them or waned their power! If it had, they would’ve shown up ages ago to destroy us.”
Bruce’s superior nodded and replied, “Yes, you’re right. At the end of the day, the Gods’ Promise wouldn’t threaten them. It wasn’t powerful enough to even scratch them! Still, they are taking action now, so it is likely that something had caught their attention or threatened their wellbeing.”
Everyone sighed. “The only problem is that we don’t know what that thing is! Our power, as much as it is, still isn’t enough. We have to become stronger.”
“That’s true. The information has already been shared on the dark web; yet, we have no idea what is going on!”
Bruce’s expression was grim when he declared, “What we must do next is to pay attention to the Ancient Clans. We will surely find some clues if we keep an eye on them.”
“Why don’t we just cooperate or negotiate a deal with them? That way, they will share their secret with us,” suggested a lady who had been quiet until that moment.
A delighted glow flashed past everybody else’s eyes.
“That is a great idea! I’ll get our people to work on it right away.”
